 RF> I was not implying hating the child, merely their inappropriate
 RF> behavior. I guess, sometimes coffee doesn't wake me up enough to put
 RF> my statements in proper words.
 DL> No I didn't think you were. I think sometimes I am so conscious of
 DL> others reading all conversations that I clarify my feelings so there is
 DL> no mis- understanding of my part.
 
 Oh I understand that as I have seen people get blasted for saying something
 not clarified properly.  Then when the person corrects it they still get
 it.
 DL> Well, I have seen their relationship change over the past few days.
 DL> Ron has also gotten alot happier and more at ease. David seems to think
 DL> he has found some maturity!!! (hmmmm...) I can't tell where these
 DL> changes are leading to, but maybe David will understand his father's
 DL> motivations alot better.
 
 I think just coming to an agreement or understanding can bring along some
 sort of peace of mind.  Also, David probably does feel he is more mature,
 because he will be moving out.  He is coming to a rude awakening like you
 said.  All in all, he will probably make it, once reality checks in and
 some foolish and childish behaviors don't fit in this new world he's
 entering.
 RF> I am glad that they were able to resolve some things.  Somethings may
 RF> not get resolved until David has a family of his own (which I hope he
 RF> doesn't jump into until he is ready).  David will mature on his own
 DL> David reassured his father that this won't happen... time will tell.
 
 Yeah, well my daughter said that and I now have two grandchildren.  We
 found out about the second one when she went into the hospital with an
 appendicitis attack.  She was only 2-3 weeks pregnant.  It surprise us
 all.  I remember her waking up after surgery asking me if she had mis-
 carried yet (at the time that is what she wanted).  She didn't.  I
 thought for sure she would and the doctor said there was a good chance
 she would, but she didn't.  We don't believe in abortion either so
 this child hung in there and made it out.  He has a really bad disposition
 and I fear it is ADHD/ODD, but he's not quite three yet.  Even the
 doctor can't understand why this child will sit in the middle of the room
 and cry.  
 RF> too.  Liking his girlfriend will make the relationship for all of you
 RF> alot easier too.
 DL> Yes, it does. Even though she is here constantly! I don't think they
 DL> have spent one evening apart in 2 months.
 
 I remember those days.  The kids have made a truce with some of the kids
 in the neiborhood and now I have them knocking on my door constantly.  In
 fact, yesterday I thought I saw my Sara holding a friends hand.  I did a
 double take, but they quit before I saw a second time.  I will have to
 investigate further as Sara is only 9 and I don't allow such things.  I
 definetly am not looking forward to all this again.  Also my Jonathon who
 is 12 and going through puberty has been hanging around a girl lately too.
 Hmmmmmmm.............I think I am in trouble here.
 DL> AND different. Just another hurdle of life, I guess. :)
 Yeppers, and I'm not sure if its getting better or worse.
